Is it prescribed to make the supplication for visiting graves for one who passes by from outside the cemetery?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this person asks about greeting the deceased: is it said only when entering the cemetery, or also when passing by it? And if we are with our family, is it necessary for each of us to greet them?

Answer:
Yes, greeting the deceased, whether you enter the cemetery or pass by it from outside, you say what was reported in the Sunnah: "Peace be upon you, O people of the abodes of the Muslims and the believers. And we, if Allah wills, will be joining you. May Allah have mercy on those of us who have gone before and those who come after. We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you. O Allah, do not deprive us of their reward, and do not test us after them, and forgive us and them." Whether you entered it or you are passing by it from outside. And if you are a group and you pass by the cemetery, and one of you greets them, that is sufficient for the rest. Yes, because this is a collective obligation (fard kifayah). Yes.
